A totally delicious and warming recipe. We make lots of these when we’re quiet, to freeze and then gently heat to serve warm as a different option to cake in our café at our open days.
Preheat a baking tray in the oven heated to 200°C/gas mark 6
Make/or buy the pastry, chill it for about 20 minutes before putting it into an 11 inch flan tin. Put the tin back into the fridge while you are doing the next bit.
Beat together the eggs, caster sugar, lemon rind and juice. Then stir in the melted butter. Slice the dessert apples and grate the cooking apples straight into the bowl using a coarse grater. Stir in the cooking apples.
Pour the apple mixture into the flan tin, and then put the eating apples in a layer over the top. Lastly, scatter the demerara sugar.
Bake on the preheated tray for about 40 minutes. The tart needs to be set in the centre, and slightly brown.
